Don't know where else to post this, so here you go.
I've been over at AVS Forums a lot recently, and oh god - my eyes!
Lots of great info by those guys, but Jesus, the forum layout is horrible. Thank you, PA, for not skinning the boards with Kayne & Lynch (or anyone). Their boards have ads on the side (fine, need $), but also in-between the posts! H-scroll raping is enough to make the board's father cry. The only good layout is their "quote" setup; it makes it more in-line than here.
I know it's not news, but just wanted to say thanks, PA, for having a non-burning sensation BBS.

what we're trying to say is we love you.
Otherwise the forum would probably look like this and be unbearable.
Case in point, here is a post from the forum that was linked above:
Seriously, look at this shit:
This fucker makes me load more than 500k of bullshit more than 500 pixels high just to read two fucking worthless sentences.
I browse PA sometimes from my PSP, so having a much cleaner, more manageable forum is important to me. And the color scheme and the way it's set up is much better than almost any forum on the net. I mean, sure, we've got downtime every so often, but compared to the latest 400k burning sword avatar and half a meg sig from S3Ph1r0Th_179 I'd take the downtime anyday.
Good show, PA forums.

PA is Bartertown.
Hey, don't mess. "Hell hath no fury like a gamer scorn".
But yes, since we're all pouring the love onto PA, things were rather different here to the last forum I was on, a lot more strict with about discussions, sig and avatar sizes, and general forum behaviour. Found it intimidating at first, but now I really appreciate that it's to actually keep things under control and prevent the kind of retarded asshattery I've seen elsewhere.
Agreeing with this, nothing worse than having to scroll through some 600 pixels of worthless shit everytime some chump wants to post "lol."
it was because it was a 1024x768 FF7 wallpaper
I'd also like to thank them for letting me turn off sigs. Man these forums look even better with no sigs.
This is why I am the sig nazi.
:?:
Also the great sig dimension crackdown is awesome. I wish it would extend more to avatars with huge filesizes as well, but it's good nonetheless.
On a side note, I like seeing sigs. It's a decent way of letting someone show a small part of their personality and every once in a while you'll see one that is funny or looks cool or is promoting something I might be interested in (like TBK or Shotgun Sunrise). If they follow the rules for sizes then they don't look that bad, and if they follow the rules for filesizes I'm not loading much extra per page anyway.

Just because I have them off doesn't mean I can't have one for the people that still want to see them :P
Wait a second.
You can't have your cake and not look at it.
Unless you close your eyes.
But then I'll take your cake.
It's why I'm so bitter
Monoxide has been anti-sig for as long as I can remember.
You owe it to yourself to steal his sig
You owe it to the world
When I had to use Netzero while my DSL modem was being replaced, their image compression service was a godsend.
Sigs I don't mind loading. What I do mind is people putting images being spoiler tags instead of linking. People are going to have to click to get to 'em anyway. <.<

Really? Hot diggity!
No, he just likes complaining even if the picture was small and perfectly normal.
Though to be fair, I'd probably complain too if I was still on netzero...
So, thanks!

I think the moderators do a good job, but why aren't the "negative" type posters getting stern talkings to about their behavior?
A couple of threads I start, I see the same person(s) regularly bashing and being ridiculously mean to me, and over the stupidest things to. Then I get blamed for the thread I started, but someone else decided to trash.
Surely, I cannot be the only one who notices this.
For reference, this is the "Gang of Daggers" guy.
I notice it too. I wish everyone could just be nice to each other like I'm nice to them. A lot of people here just need to spend some time in the military to change their attitude.

Yeah, it really is important to keep in mind that Sky is completely insane. Also that he's bitching about negativity in a thread created specifically to thank the administration for keeping this place so good.
Like I said, completely insane.
CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH
I've been hanging around PA for over a year and haven't really noticed this. Do you have any examples?
I don't want to bandwagon here, but you do strike me as a bit of a loon. Maybe you're misinterpreting things?
